But seriously, I think very often people take music way too seriously, atleast when we're talking music that's constantly played on the radio
With classical music and music that's considered "art" and "masterpieces"discussions are natural, just like with any other kind of art.
But with the music played on the radio, you're most often wasting your time trying to explain or convince someone why you are more "right" than them, since it's just "entertainment music" and people like what they like

Oh trust me, I do know—I go to school in the Boston-area after all, and Boston can be obnoxious as hell.

Macklemore also has some song about Irish pride; kids at school here go fucking nuts for it because there's still some ridiculously overblown sense of "Irish pride" even though that just means drinking a shit ton of Guinness and singing shanties.

where you at thewho? i go to school in cambridge but i'm taking a year off to work as a .NET developer for a medical tech startup in NH. i commute so i'm still living in the GBA

so i just got my amex green and will be using it for basically every purchase that would normally go on my debit card. right now my balance is, say, $250, but the amount 'due' is only $115 -- I thought I had to pay the balance every month? has the amount due just not updated yet?

There's a month delay, so you spent $115 in your billing period (the month, can start on any date), the rest was spent in your "February" billing period.

I just pay the whole thing off usually, though, so if you pay $250 it'll credit it to next month.
